So on the 24th Yule arrived in the Hut. Basically we just got out of bed, and cleaned the house up a bit, then had breakfast. Around Noon I started cooking in the kitchen.
First it was to get the pork out of the salt brine stuff, and plump it into a kettle, where it would […]

I just popped outside and the moonlight is so bright tonight I did not need to put on the light in the yard. So I stood there for a bit an looked at the stars. And I found a couple of star signs I recognize from home, like Orion for example. That was quite comforting.

I went and checked on Mao an hour ago. Quarter to midnight. He was very weak. And just lifted his head and looked at me. So I lifted him into my lap to see if I could get some fluid into him. But that was a no go. So I just sat there on the […]

Mao the Mutt had his first serious meeting with life as it is today. We had just fed him, and left him alone to enjoy his food. When we heard him scream in terror and pain from the yard. I ran outside, to find a large bitch standing over him. She had him cornered […]

Brain Farts
December 12, 2007 | 12 Comments
Okay, yesterday i really had a brain fart of gigantic proportions. My trusted laptop computer has lately been running slower and slower, and getting hotter and hotter. And it was time to open it up and clean the heat-sinks and the fans.

I just walked into the kitchen, investigating the smell of food coming from there. And found Nan in the process of making a pizza for lunch. How can I not love that woman?
The kids are enjoying a day off from school. And seem to be spending it watching episode after episode of Tom and Jerry. […]
